Refresh rate change on power source #1203

Description

@jz5678910

Feature Description

An option in the power settings to pick a refresh rate based on battery or AC power.

Use Case

When on battery a laptop could switch to 60hz to save power and when on AC power it could switch to its HFR mode automatically.

Compositor

Is this feature specific to one compositor?

  • [ X] All compositors
  • niri
  • Hyprland
  • dwl (MangoWC)
  • sway

Proposed Solution

Implement a drop-down menu in the section that lets you choose power profile based on battery or AC

Alternatives/Existing Solutions

If it can't be done natively, maybe a system like KDE has where it can run a script on power source change. In my case using KDE I have one to switch to 60hz one to switch to 165hz. It detects the change and automatically runs a script of your choosing.
